Psalmen 16

EINHEITSUBERSETZUNG BIBEL	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 [Ein Lied Davids.] Behüte mich, Gott, denn ich vertraue dir.	1 A Prayer of David. Lord, listen to my justice, attend to my supplication. Pay attention to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips.
2 Ich sage zum Herrn: «Du bist mein Herr; mein ganzes Glück bist du allein.»	2 Let my judgment proceed from your presence. Let your eyes behold fairness.
3 An den Heiligen im Lande, den Herrlichen, an ihnen nur hab ich mein Gefallen.	3 You have tested my heart and visited it by night. You have examined me by fire, and iniquity has not been found in me.
4 Viele Schmerzen leidet, wer fremden Göttern folgt. Ich will ihnen nicht opfern, ich nehme ihre Namen nicht auf meine Lippen.	4 Therefore, may my mouth not speak the works of men. I have kept to difficult ways because of the words of your lips.
5 Du, Herr, gibst mir das Erbe und reichst mir den Becher; du hältst mein Los in deinen Händen.	5 Perfect my steps in your paths, so that my footsteps may not be disturbed.
6 Auf schönem Land fiel mir mein Anteil zu. Ja, mein Erbe gefällt mir gut.	6 I have cried out because you, O God, have listened to me. Incline your ear to me and heed my words.
7 Ich preise den Herrn, der mich beraten hat. Auch mahnt mich mein Herz in der Nacht.	7 Make your mercies wonderful, for you save those who hope in you.
8 Ich habe den Herrn beständig vor Augen. Er steht mir zur Rechten, ich wanke nicht.	8 From those who resist your right hand, preserve me like the pupil of your eye. Protect me under the shadow of your wings,
9 Darum freut sich mein Herz und frohlockt meine Seele; auch mein Leib wird wohnen in Sicherheit.	9 from the face of the impious who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul.
10 Denn du gibst mich nicht der Unterwelt preis; du lässt deinen Frommen das Grab nicht schauen.	10 They have concealed their fatness; their mouth has been speaking arrogantly.
11 Du zeigst mir den Pfad zum Leben. Vor deinem Angesicht herrscht Freude in Fülle, zu deiner Rechten Wonne für alle Zeit.	11 They have cast me out, and now they have surrounded me. They have cast their eyes down to the earth.
	12 They have taken me, like a lion ready for the prey, and like a young lion dwelling in hiding.
	13 Rise up, O Lord, arrive before him and displace him. Deliver my soul from the impious one: your spear from the enemies of your hand.
	14 Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life. Their gut has been filled from your hidden stores. They have been filled with sons, and they have bequeathed to their little ones the remainder.
	15 But as for me, I will appear before your sight in justice. I will be satisfied when your glory appears.
